Hi!

You can buy one of these:

HTC G1
the first one, with keyboard, quite old but good enough to test your 
apps. you can update the android version to the newest one

HTC Magic
http://www.htc.com/de/product/magic/overview.html
successor of G1, only on-screen keyboard. i have that one and i am very 
happy with it.

HTC Hero
http://www.htc.com/de/product/hero/overview.html
The new kid on the blog, very cool Android GUI

Samsung I7500
http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/samsung-i7500-oled-handset-powered-by-android-dreams/
The first android hand set from Samsung. Can not say if it is good, 
never have seen it live but it looks promising.


All of the above should be fine. If they have a old version of Android, 
you can update it to the newest versions.

Hope this helps a little

Cheers,
Anton

 I am planning to a buy an android phone to test my app for ADC II. But
 the ones sold by google is a lil too expensive for me so I am thinking

 some of them say - Non Android OS..what does that mean? Does it mean
 my app may not run on it?
 Also I see there are some HTC G1 for sale..I am presuming that these
 are an year old...can I use them and upgrade them to latest android?
 how is the adroid SDK 1.5 related to the Actual Android OS version?
 Please help.
 Thanks in advance.

The G1s, as far as I know, got an Over-The-Air upgrade to v1.5 when it
came out. The only thing that the older hardware precludes you from is
testing your app on the newer hardware. The SDK is the same (unless
somebody simply did not update their Android version on the phone).

I think G1 should be ok if you update to v1.5
